Identify and investigate contaminant problems affecting fish, wildlife, and their habitats, and

Prevent further losses and degradation of those resources.

The Clear Lake Field Office's EC Specialists fulfill these goals through activities such as conducting scientific investigations to document and remedy contaminant-related problems for fish and wildlife, monitoring long-term contaminant trends, participating in oil and chemical spill clean-ups, consulting with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to reduce impacts to federal trust resources at Superfund sites, and ensuring that polluters restore and compensate for environmental damage.
Through these actions, the Service helps to ensure a healthy environment for fish and wildlife -- and, ultimately, people as well.
